It Looks Just Like
Wall Paper!
“It looks just like
wall paper!” As a faux artist I love hearing that comment. It was said by both
the customer and wall paper remover. I recently spent quite a bit of time in
our beautiful SW Florida city of Naples. The client’s condo was fabulously
positioned at one of the most coveted locations. Outside the glass sliding
doors all you can see is gorgeous sky and breath-taking views of the Gulf of
Mexico. Inside was a different story. The walls inside were covered with silk
string wallcovering installed about 20 years ago. Of course, by now sections had
faded, some sections had darkened, and there was dust accumulation. Hurricane
Irma added water damage to the mix. Once the water damage was remedied, the
owners were ready to have the whole place stripped and painted. They loved the
look of the silk string but didn’t want to bother with the hassle and headaches
wall covering can bring when you practically live in water. But they wanted the
same look as their wall covering. The couple is in their mid- 90’s so they felt
comfortable keeping things the way they feel most at home. The faux finish
result gives the look they love with added benefit of easier care. And even their
wall-paper remover was stunned and declared ‘Oh my God, it looks just like
their wall covering” !
Here's a tour of the condo:
Another faux painting
that mimics wall covering- in this case, the stereo covers are painted to blend
in with the client’s wall-covering:
